Click on the Transient Editing Mode Button. It will turn orange and Logic will quickly calculate and place transient markers where it thinks they should go.

You can now use the - and + buttons to remove or add transient markers or double click a transient marker to remove it or add your own using the pencil tool. To move a Transient marker simply drag it to a new position.

Once you click OK. Logic now creates a new sampler instrument from your selection and mutes the original audio region. Not only that, it creates a new Software Instrument track, with an EXS24 loaded with the new Sampler Instrument and creates a MIDI region with trigger notes for every zone!

Hi, this is awesome, I just have one question that none of the tuts on this feature seem to address -- if I'm making a sampler from slices of a vocal, and slice it up mid-wave form in all sorts of different places and then convert it to a sampler track, the resulting samples/sampler all have clicks at the beginning and end of each sample because i'm cutting them mid-waveform. is there any way to get the exs24 to do fade ins/outs of all the samples so that every instrument i make isn't a mess of pops and clicks?

Hi Alex, glad you found this useful!
The problem is probably because you haven't cut the audio at the zero crossing point (when you zoom really close in to the waveform you'll see the wave should start where it crosses the horizontal line - zero point. Cutting when it's mid-cycle or above or below will generally cause a click or pop).
While you can "snap edits to zero crossing" in the Audio menu from the Arrange area, I find it a bit flakey to be honest. Sample Editor works better.
Here's one way to remedy this...
1. When you slice up your audio region select all the individual regions.
2. In the Region Parameters box (top of the Inspector) add a small amount of fade in and fade out (5 or 10 ticks should be enough - but play it back and listen out for clicks.
3. With all regions (slices) selected choose Audio > Convert Regions to New Audio Files.
Now the fades have been written to each audio slice turn it into a sampler instrument.
Hope this helps :)

Thanks Rounik,
Fading in/out all the samples before converting to instrument was the first thing I thought of, but I have found that logic doesn't write the fades into the samples when I convert.
In your experience, does logic actually write the fades into the new files for the sampler instrument? If so we must have different settings at play...or something to that effect?

Hi Alex,
That's right, Logic 9 applies fades to audio regions non-destructively...
that's why I suggested to select all the regions and convert them to Audio Files... and THEN select them and convert them to a new sampler track.
This way the fades will be written to the new audio files :-)
Hope this helps
